A company behind an AI-powered app called CrimeRadar has apologized for the distress caused by false crime alerts issued to local US communities after an investigation by BBC Verify.
CrimeRadar uses artificial intelligence to monitor freely available police radio communications, automatically generating a transcript and then producing crime alerts for users across the United States.
BBC Verify found several cases, from Florida to Oregon, of CrimeRadar sending misleading and inaccurate alerts about serious crimes to local residents – as Thomas Copeland explains.
